I don't know what's happened to this Houston team but they just aren't the same squad from 10 games ago. They weren't overachieving. They weren't benefiting from luck. They were running the offense through Lin and letting Harden move around more. Now, in the bits of these last pathetic games I've watched, they just defer to Harden. Over and over again. It's ridiculous. They're outcoached every night, too. This doesn't feel like a slump. It feels like the way this team will play the rest of the year, and that sucks.

Lmao at Mexi ignoring the turnovers
lmao at you two ignoring the positives

7,8 TOs is a lot. He is 2nd i think in TOs, but 7? Come on now

I dont understand the hate. James is a good guy. I cant recall a single bad thing he's done.

Same cant br said for guys like kobe, lebron, cp, blake, wade, rondo, dwight, etc
I dont hate them but i could see why some do

When is it not a coincidence? Every time kobe scores low and passes more, the lakers look great. Every time

And im not talking his 14 points 23 shots games. Im talking the games he's not just gunning

Lol I hate the hype he gets.

He is a inefficent one way player. Not this superstar he's made out to be.

But it seems like me and CC are two of the few that ever look past the box score.

You must not venture past this board very often.

And Mexi isn't joking.

Maybe superstar was too strong so let's just keep it simple, he isn't the player fans make him out to be.

It may have been that at first, but Harden just scored 30 points on 15 shots against the team you watch everyday, and the only thing brought up was refs and turnovers.

Hey if you know me and are familiar with my posts you know I love it when guys go for 30 on 15, or 42 on 25, etc. I shouldnt even have to mention that. Harden played a great offensive game last night, especially after halftime. And we also know a select few in the league will get calls that most of the league don't get, Hardens one of those guys and I knew that going in. Even you say "I can't wait till Kyrie starts getting calls," and you had LeBron for how many years? So I should probably spend less time bitching about that, it's a given.

Those select few are uber talented, always in the lane and know how to initiate contact. They might get a few more calls than they deserve, but as an official how can you not give them the benefit of the doubt, especially considering how high paced the game is?

And yes, I want Kyrie to get more calls but I'm not expecting it and don't really care anymore because of how well he avoids contact, which should help him stay healthy even if it hasn't been the case so far in his career.

James Harden isn't a superstar. He shouldn't even be in the All-Star Game. He's doing what Kevin Martin and Monta Ellis were both criticized for, being an inefficient chucker, but no one seems to care because it's James Harden

I think what it is, is that Harden had sex with both CC's and Nola's mothers. They are just bitter about that.
